COOKING WITH GEORGE CALOMBARIS

We've gotten to know George as we supplied wood fired equipment for his restaurants over the years, including the Hellenic Republic group, Gazi, The Press Club and Jimmy Grants. So when he decided he wanted one of our Brick Ovens built in his backyard, we were very happy to oblige. George was so impressed with the oven that he offered to give us a testimonial, and on the day we arrived to film it he had organised a wood-fired feast for us as a surprise. Thanks GC!

FULL FIRING

TIPS AND TRICKS

We get asked a variety of questions when it comes to the use of Wood Fired Ovens, in the videos below we tackle a few of the queries people have, along with some handy tips and tricks.

COOKING IN YOUR OVEN

You've done all the hard work, your oven is built, cured and ready to go. Now how in the world do you cook in this thing! We understand that not everyone has cooked in Wood Fired Ovens before and even though it looks easy, it can actually be very challenging. Unlike a conventional oven you can't just set the temperature, walk away and come back to a perfectly heated oven. Cooking in a Wood Fired Oven takes a little bit of extra love and care but it is well worth it; once you've tasted that first pizza, roast, steak or even charred peaches you'll know you've made the right decision.

In this section we will provide you with the means to start your cooking adventures.
